Dana Wharf Whale Watching, now celebrating its 40th anniversary, offers a one-of-a-kind ocean adventure aboard their state-of-the-art catamaran. Along with catching regular, year-round glimpses of magnificent migrating gray and blue whales, this two-hour cruise also offers regular sightings of other marine life, like dolphins, sea lions, and maybe even a shark or two. With approximately 2000 blue whales calling the Pacific coast their home, it's not unusual to see the largest mammals on earth, some 100 feet long, frolicking just off deck. The eco-friendly Ocean Adventures catamaran features high-tech viewing cameras mounted at the bow, a roomy viewing deck, full-service deli-style galley and the smoothest ride on the water.

wonderful! saw lots of dolphins 3x, sun fishes, baby sharks?? and a blue whale.
stand in front of boat and feel the speed upon take-off - very cool

upon departure, was given a business card for 1/2 off adult tickets next time up to o 4 people plus tuesday, always half off price.
would go again during winter/spring season for gray whales.

parking in jolly roger restaurant area - up to 4 hrs. parking - can be horrendous depending if there are other events lined up there. we got lucky and parked quickly near entrance:)

It was a great cruise, the view of the coastline was beautiful and we were thrilled to see the blue whale as well as the dolphins. My 7 year old granddaughter really enjoyed it.

Before we even reached the whales, we were surrounded by a school of dolphins. The 2-hour trip was well worth it.

Saw several whales, dolphins, sea lions and the weather was beautiful. The captain was very knowledgeable and let us know when we approached a whale or other sea creature. Very nice & relaxing as well.

Description

Join Dana Wharf Sportfishing, the originator of whale watching in Orange County, on their brand new catamaran for a one-of-a-kind ocean adventure. Guests will stare in awe at whales, dolphins, sea lions, various sea birds, sun fish and maybe even a chance encounter with a shark.

The Blue Whale season runs May - October. Remember that whale watching is year round at Dana Wharf as the Gray Whale migration runs November - April! The Blue Whales are the largest mammal on Earth and can grow to over 100 feet long! Whaling in the 1900's caused a severe decline in the blue whale population along the Pacific coast of the United States. Once hunting was banned, the blue whale population has slowly started to recover. Before whaling was commercialized, blue whale numbers along the Pacific were estimated to be around 200,000. Today, the blue whale population around the world is estimated to be around 12,000. Approximately 2,000 blue whales call the Pacific coast their home. The blue whale is listed as endangered by the IUCN Red List. These gentle giants are truly an amazing sight to see! Dana Wharf Whale Watching saw 216 Blue Whales last season and each year the number of sightings increases!
